Men’s singles:

Aleksandar Vukic climbed back into the ATP top 80 after he progressed to the Estoril Challenger semifinals.

The 29-year-old moved up four places to world No.79 and gained an important confidence boost, after snapping a 10-match losing streak.

Chris O’Connell also enjoyed a rise in the latest rankings update following his third main-draw victory on clay at a Masters 1000 tournament. O’Connell’s 6-3 6-4 win over world No.59 Camilo Ugo Carabelli helped propel him to world No.81.
